PHOTO radar should
be rolling in West
Vancouver and North
Vancouver District by
the end of this year.

Unlike in North Vancouver
City, the controversial speeding
ticket program thar uses cam-
eras was rejected earlier this
year in’ North Vancouver
District and West Vancouver.

But B.C.'s attorney general
Ujjal Dosanjh subsequently
announced that he had
changed his mind and that
photo radar would be set up
throughout B.C., regardless of
the wishes of municipal coun-
cils and police boards.

Staff Sgt. Mike Clark of the
Integrated Traffic Camera Unit
of the Lower Mainland said he
believes the attorney general
will need ro have “some
answers” if all municipalities
don’t have photo radar started
by the end of the year.

West Vancouver Police
Chief Grant Churchill said that

pality have been selected for

Pe Churchill said that more
information about the effec:
tiveness of photo radar was
being compiled for the West
Vancouver Police Board.

The board meets next week.

Mayor Pat Boname, who is
chairman of the West
Vancouver Police Board, was
unavailable for comment.

In North = Vancouver
District, Mayor Don Bell said
council remained opposed to
photo radar in che community.
He said thar the way the

provincial government handled
photo radar was similar to the
way it is handling the upgrad-
ing, of Lions Gate Bridge.
“They initially said we want
to work in cooperation with the
municipalites and when that
support wasn’t forthcoming,
they said we will go ahead and
do what we want to de whether
